  1. I’ve had the same thing happen to my dummy ammo I have a couple of dedicated dry fire mags and the heads work themselves loose after awhile
  2. I use these https://www.amazon.com/Condor-Outdoors-FBA_MA37-002-Triple-Magazine/dp/B01MU6QP1U/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549852743&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=uzi%2Bmag%2Bpouch&dpPl=1&dpID=310W-6cx1TL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1 they come in different colors to allow you to color code the different mags
  3. Good luck with enforcing that, it’s hard enough keeping track of the number of rounds fired in the 10 round divisions. to drastically change the rules to accommodate a small group shooter is insane. when I started the 45 was king, and everyone shot heads up, no divisions, you run what you brung the first compguns showed up, and the old slab side was obsolete, to win you need to buy one of those gamer guns the devel follower showed up, 8 rounds in a mag designed for 7, you mags ale obsolete, you need to buy new follower or mags the 38 super compguns show up and the hold 2 more rounds than your brand new 8 round 45 compgun and it shoots flatter your new 38 super compgun shows up, and some damn Jedi Knight wannabe puts a red dot on his and wins the nationals so you send the gun back to the gunsmith to mount a red dot then the highcap wide body guns appear, and you brand new 10 round red dotted super is obsolete so what do you do, if you’re bill wilson you form IDPA whats the point to all this, if it an’t broke, don’t try to fix it can you buy a edge in 9mm, yes can you use it in USPSA, yes will you be competitive in limited, maybe, but more than likely not Should USPSA change the rules to make you gun more competitive, and indoing so piss off 99.9% of limited shooter, not only no, but hell no Stock gun class, the forerunner to limited was created to give the martial artist a place to play without affecting the compgun shooters when the first supers showed up, some of the 45 guys stayed, some built supers, some said the hell with this and left the first highcaps, some of the 45 and super guys built new guns, some said the hell with this and leave if you add major 9 to limited, how many guys with brand new 3-4K obsolete limited will say the hell with this and leave
  4. I’ve been shooting game since 84 and seen the effects of unintended consequences you ever wonder why the mag limit for open is 170mm well the story goes when the para’s, P 9’s, caspians and sti’s Started showing up, to allow the old SS 45 comp to still be competitive there was a 15 round 45 mag that was 170mm long. it wasn't long before someone cut 2 caspian mags in half and welded them back together to meet the 170mm rule and started the highcap arms race if USPSA allowed major 9 in limited to please a few, they will piss off 99.9% of limited shooters because they have just made their 40 limited blasters obsolete
  5. I use silicone spray, the acetone carrier cuts the crud and when it drys it leave a thin layer of silicone behind
  6. Put cardboard over the top of it but I’m like the others, when mine gets quite it’s telling me somethings wrong
  7. Everything I learned about shooting, I learned from watching Double tap
  8. I’ve been swabbing my comp with kroil after every shooting session, it get under the crud and the next time I shoot it, the blast blow it out
  9. Another blue bullet shooter, I’ve shot cases of them thru everything from production to open, they do smoke some, but less than other brands and I’ve pushed the 115s to 1500 FPS in my supercomp with no leading in the barrel and minimal crud buildup in the comp. the nationals shooter survey shows with the exception of open, blue bullets were 1st or 2nd in bullet manufacturers used at the match
  10. I run metalform mags from brownells and PSA The combo that has worked for me are the blued PSA mags with the stock follower, extra power spring with the base plate retainer left on and running 115 gr bullets i couldn’t get to run with the heavier bullets, also I couldn’t get it to run with the coated Brownells mag on the extra power spring, I bought 2, and compared them to the stock spring in all my mags and about a 3rd already had the “extra power” spring installed I just got the TF custom follower and spring which supposed fix the problems but I haven’t tested it yet
  11. +1 on the above you can also add, food, housing and make a reasonable profit, there’s been a bunch of good gunsmith come and go, many of them were great smiths but lousy businessmen there’s a reason Dawson and EGW gave up smithing and went to only selling parts, they probably figured out there’s more money in it and less headaches
  12. I would if I could, but sbr’s are illegal here
  13. I would if I could, but sbr’s are illegal here
  14. Also look at the cmc ar9 trigger, it drops in, and mine breaks at under 3lbs, crisp with a positive reset i had a hyperfire 24e in my pcc before and pulled it for the reasons posted above, plus I really didn’t like it, instead of a crisp pull it reminded me of a glock trigger, a little creep, spongy pull before the break
  15. And I think it’s chilly at 73 stay warm up there and don’t talk too much (saw that on the news)
  16. When it comes to shooting flat, most look for a load that shoots flat and keep adding powder until it does, if you’re running a 124 around 175-180 PF, experiment with the same powder charge but with lighter bullets, 115 and 121 also recoil springs play a part in perceived flatness, a heavier recoil spring will reduce muzzle rise and look flat, but it may also cause muzzle dip when the slide slam forwards causing the dot to bounce up and down ideally you want a load and spring combination the meets PF and have the dot track straight up and drop straight down to where it started
  17. I’ve used all kinds of skate board tape, some were good others were crap lately I’ve been using 3m stair tape, it has a good adhesive that sticks to metal, and when I remove it, it doesn’t leave any residue behind
  18. Which direction are you installing the firing pin spring the tight end goes on towards the back of the FP, often it’s tight and you have to force it on, the front of the spring is wider
  19. Uncommon valor, buried in the credits special weapons training by Chuck Taylor
  20. Fte Make sure the ejector is almost touching the bcg, slightly rubbing against it is actually ok
  21. I’ve done the mag catch, if you try it have a few spares because if you take off too much, it will seat easy, but will have too much slop or http://9mmar.com/spikes-tactical-mag-catch-9mm-only/ I’ve never seen one and I never heard of it until a couple of days ago but it’s cheap enough to experiment with
  22. Between the 2, I’d go with the 550, auto indexing is nice but not a big deal, with the 550 once I got my rhythm down, loading 500 rounds an hour was fairly easy
  23. That would be fun i started in 84, no divisions, everybody shot heads up, if you showed up with a revolver in your duty rig, you shot against that that gamer with his new fangled unpractical compgun with flush fitting 7 round mags, when the first guy showed up with devel follower that allowed 8, we thought he was cheating you want a high cap gun, no problem, pick the wonder nine of your choice and shot minor Red dot sights, hell you’re Jedi Knight wannabe yep the good old days
  24. I’ve use silhouette and its Predecessor Winchester Action Pistol for over 20 years, and its my favorite 38supercomp powder, for major 9 I’ve gone with hs6 with silhouette being a close 2nd
